Summary of Practice4.1 The calculations described in this practice assume thatspecimens have been measured according to Practices E1164and E308 and one of the Test Methods E1

21、331, E1347, E1348,or E1349, depending on the type of specimen and measuringinstrument used (see also Practice E805).4.2 This practice takes as a starting point for the calculationsCIE tristimulus values X, Y, and Z for one of the CIE standardobservers and one of the CIE standard or recommendedillumi

22、nants of daylight quality. Such tristimulus values areavailable by use of modern color measuring instruments.4.3 Equations for the preferred methods of calculating YIand WI are described in Sections 6 and 7, respectively.Equations for calculating other quantities used as indices ofyellowness or whit

23、eness are given in Appendix X1 andAppendix X2, respectively.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice should be used only to compare specimensof the same material and same general appearance. Forexample, a series of specimens to be compared should havegenerally similar gloss, texture, and (if not opa

24、que) thickness,and translucency.5.2 For yellowness measurement, this practice is limited tospecimens having dominant wavelength in the range 570 to580 nm, or Munsell hue approximately 2.5GY to 2.5Y. Forwhiteness measurement, this practice is limited to specimenshaving Munsell value greater than 8.3

25、(CIE Y greater than 65)and Munsell chroma no greater than 0.5 for B hues, 0.8 for Yhues, and 0.3 for all other hues (see 3.3.1).5.3 The combination of measurement and calculation lead-ing to indices of yellowness or whiteness is a psychophysicalprocess, that is, the procedures specified are designed

26、 toprovide numbers correlating with visual estimates made underspecified typical observing conditions. Because visual observ-ing conditions can vary widely, users should compare calcu-lated indices with visual estimates to ensure applicability.Some standards addressing the visual estimation of color

27、 andcolor difference are Practices D1535, D1729, E1360, andE1541, and Guide E1499.5.4 This practice does not cover the preparation ofspecimens, a procedure that may affect significantly the quan-tities measured. In general, specimens should be prepared andpresented for measurement in the manner that

28、 is standard forthe test being performed. Select enough specimens or specimenareas to provide an average result that is representative of eachsample to be tested. See Practice E1345.6. Yellowness Index6.1 This section contains two main parts: 6.2 Historicalbackground and 6.3 Calculation of currently

29、 recommendedYellowness Index. If the user wants to calculate the currentlyrecommended Yellowness Index (YI), it is recommended toskip directly to 6.3.6.2 BackgroundThe currently recommended equation forthe calculation of yellowness index is derived from an equationdue to Hunter (2) in 1942: YI =(AB)

30、/G, where A, B, and Gare, respectively, amber or red, blue, and green colorimeterreadings. Another version, used in the 1940s to 1960s fortransparent plastics (3, 4), was based on transmittances near theends of the visible wavelength region: YI = 100(T680 T420)/T560(with a factor of 100 introduced t

31、o give values of YI nearunity). This equation failed to account correctly for differencesin the spectral transmittance curves of such plastics, especiallyafter the adoption of ultraviolet light absorbers to improveweathering, and was soon abandoned. When, in 1957, ASTMsolicited new equations for cal

32、culating yellowness indices,Hunters equation was converted (5) into CIE tristimulus valueform by using Hunters approximate relations between colo-rimeter readings and those tristimulus values; the resultingequation, YI = 100(1.28X 1.06Z)/Y, was adopted for use inTest Method D1925 in 1962.6.2.1 In th

33、e original form of Test Method E313, an alterna-tive equation was recommended for a yellowness index. Interms of colorimeter readings, it was YI = 100(1 B/G). Itsderivation assumed that, because of the limitation of theconcept to yellow (or blue) colors, it was not necessary to takeaccount of variat

34、ions in the amber or red colorimeter reading A.This equation is no longer recommended.6.2.2 Significant Digits and PrecisionThe coefficients ofTest Method D1925 equation were rounded to the number ofdigits shown, commensurate with the precision of then-existingE313 1512color measurement instrumentat

35、ion. It was not intended thatmore significance should be attributed to values of YI than thatimplicit in this number of digits. As instrumentation wasimproved, however, it was found that some instruments unex-pectedly gave nonzero values of YI for clear air or the perfectreflecting diffuser. One sug

36、gested (1), p. 205) remedy for thispresumed failure of the equation was to increase the number ofdigits in the numerical coefficients from two to ten after thedecimal point, despite the obvious lack of significance of mostof these digits. With modern instrumentation, it is believed thattwo digits ad

37、ded to the coefficients in the original Test MethodD1925 equation suffice to bring the nonzero value of YI below0.0005 on average. The new coefficients are given to thisprecision in 6.2.3.6.2.3 Derivation of EquationsSeveral sets of coefficientsare involved in the derivation of the final equations r

38、ecom-mended for calculating yellowness indices. With themevaluated, it is possible to derive highly precise equations forboth the CIE 1931 standard observer and the 1964 supplemen-tary standard observer, in combination with either CIE standardilluminant C or D65. The results are given in Table 1.6.2

39、.3.1 The first set of coefficients required, consists of thetristimulus values Xn, Yn, and Znof the perfect reflectingdiffuser (or clear air) for the above observer-illuminant com-binations. These are established by the CIE, and for the presentderivation were taken from the tables of tristimulus wei

40、ghtingfactors in Practice E308.6.2.3.2 From these “white point” values, it is possible tocalculate the coefficients in Hunters equation relating tristimu-lus value X and colorimeter readings A and B: X=Xn-(FAA + FBB), thus improving on the approximation FA= 0.8and FB= 0.2 originally used.6.2.3.3 The

41、 coefficients in revised Test Method D1925equations for YI can be calculated, rounded, and adjusted in thelast retained significant digit to minimize the residual error inthe white point values. These coefficients are given in Table 1as CXand CZ. The tabulation of the residual white point errorcompl

43、, Y, Z are the measured tristimulus values of thespecimen calculated for either Illuminant C or D65, and eitherthe CIE 1931 standard colorimetric observer (2), or the CIE1964 standard colorimetric observer (10); and coefficients Cxand Czare selected from Table 2 for the chosen illuminant andobserver

44、.7. Whiteness Index7.1 BackgroundThe earliest equation for whiteness indexWI appears to be due to MacAdam (6) and related WI toexcitation purity. This and other equations utilizing the purityhave largely been abandoned. Judd (7) appears to have been thefirst to recognize that a whiteness index shoul

45、d incorporate twoterms, one based on the lightness of the specimen relative tothat of a preferred white, and the other describing the differ-ence in chromaticity between the specimen and that preferredwhite. Much debate has arisen over the years as to the natureof the preferred white, but at the pre

46、sent time the perfectreflecting diffuser is almost always adopted as that reference.7.1.1 In the original form of Test Method E313, the equationfor WI was based on the above premise and the use ofcolorimeter readings G and B only. It was found that thechromaticity factor GB required three to four ti

47、mes theweighting of the lightness factor G. Hence the equation waswritten WI=G4(GB)=4B 3G. This equation is nolonger recommended.7.2 CIE EquationsThe equations for whiteness recom-mended in this practice were derived and published (8) by theCIE. Two equations are given, one for the whiteness index W

48、Iand another for a tint index T. Their coefficients are given inTable 3. The CIE gave coefficients for both standard observersand Ill. D65; those for the 1931 observer and Ill. C were takenfrom the American Association of Textile Chemists and Col-orists (AATCC) method for WI(9); and those for the 19

49、64observer and Ill. C and Ill. D50were estimated by Subcommit-tee E12.04. Those for Ill. C and Ill. D50and both observers areunofficial and should be used for in-house comparisons only.7.2.1 Equation for Whiteness Index WI:WI 5 Y1WI, x!xn2 x!1WI, y!yn2 y!(2)TABLE 1 Quantities Used in the Earlier Forms of YellownessIndex EquationsQuantityCIE Standard Illuminant and Standard ObserverC, 1931 D65, 1931 C, 1964 D65, 1964Xn98.074 95.047 97.285 94.811Yn100.000 100.000 100.000 100.000Zn118.232 108.883 116.145 107.304FA0.7987 0.8105 0.7987 0.8103F
